The most experienced is 31-year-old midfielder Dave Keenleyside, who will bring flair, creativity to the side and will no doubt quickly become a fans favourite at Langford Road.

Keenleyside joins from new league rivals Welwyn Garden City.

He had joined the Citizens in 2018 from Hertford Town and made over 100 appearances.

He had an outstanding couple of seasons in the Spartan South Midlands League with Harpenden Town before that when he was picked in the SSML team of the season.

Has previously served St Albans City, Dunstable Town and London Colney.

Another midfielder, Max Granville (pictured), returns to the Waders having been with them in February 2022 on `work experience` from League Two side Stevenage.

Granville, 18, made the Boro first team bench at Valley Parade for a League Two clash against Bradford City.

For Granville, the rise up into the first-team frame came quickly.

As a first-year scholar at the time, he was just 16, earning his stripes, nonetheless, as part of Boro’s under-15 and under-18 sides.

He only featured twice for the Waders due to injury but made a massive impact on his debut at Stratford Town.

An athletic player and excellent technician, he will bring real energy and bite to the Waders midfield.

Also strengthening O’Keefe’s midfield options is 18-year-old Aaron Austin, who moves from Vanarama National League South side St Albans City.

He made 4 first team appearances for the Saints and 3 whilst on loan with Biggleswade’s new league rivals AFC Dunstable.

He has enjoyed an excellent pre-season and will be one to watch as the season progresses.
